The Holy Elements (2026)

The program follows the journeys of people around the world who live with pain, showing how they seek hope through their own religions and faith. “The Holy Elements” consists of four parts: Part 1, “Covenant,” Part 2, “Invitation,” Part 3, “Word,” and Part 4, “Heart.” In particular, Part 1 “Covenant” highlights the Tabot, a sacred object representing the Ark of the Covenant, which is said to bear the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God. In Ethiopia, a country largely made up of highlands, a mysterious sacred object carrying a divine promise has been passed down through generations. Although the Tabot is a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church believe and revere it as one and the same as the Ark. The Tabot can only be seen by priests who guard the church, but once a year, during the Timkat Festival, the largest celebration of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ, it is revealed to the public for a single day in January. Meanwhile, in the Geralta region of Tigray in northern Ethiopia, a thirteen-year-old boy named Kebrom lives. Dreaming of becoming a priest, Kebrom climbs barefoot up a 300-meter cliff to reach the Abuna Yemata Guh Church. Wanting to protect the Tabot housed in the church and support his family and village, he says, “If I become a priest someday, I want to share what I’ve learned with people and guide them onto the right path.” In addition, the program introduces the life of a visually impaired nun belonging to a convent in Turin, Italy, as well as the stories of a young Muslim man in Tuskey who has been scarred by domestic violence, and a bereaved family who lost their daughter in the October 29 Itaewon tragedy.
